Science Vocational Courses

An excellent grounding for science-based careers.

Science

Industry leading courses

Our Science vocational courses offer an excellent foundation for exciting science-based careers in a huge number of industries.

By studying on one of our science programmes, you will gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed in a range of professions such as a laboratory technician, crime scene investigator or healthcare technician.

Whichever course you choose, you will build on the knowledge you gained in GCSE chemistry, biology, physics and maths and will learn how that knowledge can be used in the workplace. As well as studying the sciences specific to your course, you will undertake relevant and fascinating work experience to support your future career ambitions and will also have the opportunity to join our STEM Academy to gain further experience and enrichment.

If you have a scientific and inquisitive mind, then our Science courses could be for you!

"You will get to explore a whole range of concepts whilst gaining experience in practical and problem-solving skills."
